Instagram Adds Comments To Stories

Instagram Adds Comments To Stories

Instagram is trying to encourage more engagement in the app, this time, by adding comments to Stories.

As you can see in this example sequence below, shared by Taylor Loren, some IG users are now being notified of a new Stories commenting option.

As per the notification:

According to Instagram chief Adam Mosseri, IG users now post a lot more to stories, and send a lot more DMs, than they post to the main feed.

Which limits interaction, but Instagram’s been trying to counter this through tools like Notes, which enable users to leave conversation prompts at the top of the inbox tab. 

Creators can also switch off Stories commenting if they choose, so they won’t have these comments displayed on their content. So there is a way to maintain the presentation integrity of your creations, but allowing Stories comments could be a good way to boost your reach, by generating more engagement with your content.

On papers, it’s an interesting update. Let’s see what is does to the engagement on the app.

Instagram Stories Comments are now live globally.
